Assessment at Kaufman Library

Kaufman Library is dedicated to supporting information literacy across the curriculum here at GGC. If your course includes any type of research assignment, we would be happy to work with faculty on the assessment of information literacy skills through your assignments. Please utilize the resources shared on this page, and contact our Assessment Librarian, Jillian Collier, at jcollier4@ggc.edu if you have any questions or would like to work with us!

These are the rubrics that we use to assess student essays and annotated bibliographies. The library has collaborated with faculty who are willing to share students' papers for us to assess. We are so grateful to faculty who have done this so that we can see how library instruction skills are showing up in students' final assignments. If you are interested, please let me know via email at jcollier4@ggc.edu, so we can work together on aligning information literacy assessment! Also, feel free to use these rubrics or any of the resources listed on this page in your own assessment for your courses.

• Presentations, in whatever format, can be a great way for students to engage in research assignments. This link includes example rubrics for oral presentations, PowerPoints, and podcasts.
• Video projects can also be a great way for students to engage in research assignments. This link provides an example rubric.
